With the myriad of gold, old gold, yellow, vegas gold, cheddar, urine, navy, blue, black and white rainbow of suck their fans generally bring to the game, settling on a white out will give them the opportunity to match for once. However, they picked one helluva weekend for a White Out.

Tech could be limping into the Mississippi State game at 1-2 following road games against Boston College and Virginia Tech. It's going to take a lot more than free cokes, free hot dogs and white t-shirts to get Tech fans to come watch a losing product play a non-rival SEC West team.

Conversely, MSU should be 2-1 with some nice post-bowl momentum. State fans are desperate for prosperity of any kind, and their record showing at the Liberty Bowl is evidence of that.

Imagine the shock of the Tech fans as they enter Bobby Dodd Stadium only to find:

They think Bulldog fans who bark are obnoxious? Wait til they get a load of the ones that have cow bells. Tech will be facing Bulldogs, wearing their favorite shade of Red, making more noise than they are in their own stadium. I expect their team to just roll over and play dead in the fourth quarter out of Bulldog induced habit.

If Tech had worn their gold unis, the MSU team would've worn their all whites. A color the MSU fans are much less passionate about. Throwing MSU into a White Out environment where they get to wear Maroon is like throwing Briar Rabbit into the briar patch.

Originally, I said that beating this brand of Bulldogs was not the methadone they crave. Looking at the divergent paths of the two programs, I think this is a game that will only make Tech matters worse.

I wonder how many [insert team color here]-outs we'll see this season. I know UGA wasn't the first to ever pull such a stunt, but it was pretty high profile, and I'm sure got some wheels turning in the heads of some marketing guys in the athletic departments.

I don't think a white out is such a good idea for Tech. It's going to be kind of hard to hide when they wet themselves on the field. I thought that's why they wore gold/yellow in the first place?

[color]-outs aren't anything new. Georgia just figured out a way to make them work. And I personally think a big reason it did work is because Georgia just doesn't deviate much on their uniform. The teams that jump on this [color]-out idea are going to be the ones who never wear the same uniform twice and they'll scratch their heads trying to figure out why it just isn't working for them.

-Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ask for Georgia Tech to apologize for the ''white-out'' and call the event ''insensitive and morally objectionable'' given that Sly Croom is the only African-American head coach in the SEC.

-Several Liquid Paper companies sue Georgia Tech to prevent them from using the term white-out because they fear it will have a negative effect on sales.

-To increase attendance for the game, Georgia Tech will print BYORTBD (Bring Your Own Robot to Bobby Dodd) and pass out white ponchos at the gate.

-Conversation between two Tech fans in their dorm room talking about the white-out:Nerd #1: Oh man, I have nothing to wear that's whiteNerd #2: Me neither.(Both nerds sit down frustrated until one runs over to their closet with a big smile. He reaches in awkwardly grabs to items.)Nerd #1: Stormtrooper uniforms!Nerd #2: The force is strong with this one.

You guys are pathetic. Go back to swigging some natty light out of the back of your pickup trucks and we Tech alums will toss a few bucks at you as we pass by. We've got plenty to spare. Up with the White and Gold (and our successful careers)
